Estimates of the number of people living with HIV are available from UNAIDS (http://www.unaids.org/en/dataanalysis/knowyourepidemic/epidemiologypublications/).
117 male and female HIV cases were reported in Afghanistan, but for 10 cases the information on sex was missing.
109 male and female HIV cases were reported in Lebanon but only for 51 cases the information on mode of transmission and sex was available.
For Oman and Sudan, only lower and higher confidence bounds of the estimates are available.
NA=not available; IDU=injecting drug use; MSM=men who have sex with men; MTC=mother-to-child transmission.
